Overall, the AT&T U-verse Total Home DVR offers enough storage and features to make your U-verse experience a pleasant one. It isn’t perfect, and we wouldn’t choose U-verse just to get the DVR, but we also wouldn’t let it keep us from enjoying the hundreds of fiber-optic channels U-verse offers.

Over-the-Air (OTA) TV is high-definition television broadcast from local television stations in your area. The only things you need to enjoy it are a TV and an antenna. You can even use an OTA DVR to record live TV.
